Hornblower Niagara Cruises

The Hornblower Niagara Cruises, the best way to experience Niagarafalls, Canada’s most spectacular wonder of the world. Hornblower Niagara Cruises is the official Canadian operator of boat tours to Niagara Falls and is located along the Niagara Parkway at the base of Clifton Hill in the Tourist District. The Maid of the Mist, which had been operating boat tours at The Falls since 1846, has re-located to the U.S. side of the Falls. Both of them follow the same route up to and back from the Falls.

Within the Niagara Great Gorge the boat travels past the American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and into the very heart of the famous Horseshoe Falls for an exciting experience with the waterfalls.

Hornblower Niagara Cruises has two brand-new 700 seats catamarans (Niagara Thunder & Niagara Wonder), with facilities such as enclosed-glass viewing areas and tiered viewing decks on the top levels.

Hornblower Niagara Cruises have sunset cocktail cruises that include the voyage to the Falls with time to mingle and enjoy the bottom of the gorge.

Hornblower won a 30-year contract to be the sole tour operator on the Canadian side of the Falls after a bidding process conducted by the Niagara Parks Commission in 2012.

Hornblower also offers a couple of different types of cruises, including a falls illumination cruise and fireworks cruise

The Voyage to the Falls: An early morning sunrise cruise, which features an up-close view of the Niagara Gorge, American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. Cruises continue throughout the day.
